Chapter 93

• Brinah reached out to touch her and her hand passed through Aislinn's check leaving a cooling sensation but no tangible touch. "You're right," she said softly. "But the way I died bound me to this place. I didn't know that it would happen. But here I am."
• "Oh, grandma I'm so sorry." Aislin couldn't stop the pain. She felt as though her chest was going to explode. "I never should have involved you. I can't believe you're trapped here now."
• Brinah smiled at Aislinn. "You've a great deal to learn. That's my fault. I never allowed you to be taught. How could I have known that the fates would draw you back into this life. Don't cry for me child. I knew what I did each step that I took and I would do it again to help you if need be. Besides everyone who dies must go somewhere. The clearing is beautiful and the ley lines allow me some small existence beyond death. That's a great deal more than some."
